69
00:06:55,95 --> 00:07:00,18
ago and she remembered beer
and air it just it was

70
00:07:00,19 --> 00:07:05,58
a beautiful beautiful story and your
Vieira was could you tell us about her

71
00:07:05,59 --> 00:07:12,56
physical ailment at the time. She had
massive congenital defects that's

72
00:07:12,57 --> 00:07:16,30
what we were told of you were in
your yeah do your unary track and.

73
00:07:18,92 --> 00:07:24,67
Dr cheese I can't think his name it's hurts
our words or remember and yet he says

74
00:07:24,82 --> 00:07:31,40
You're fortunate and one sense Mr Callender
that Dr Koop is at Children's Hospital

75
00:07:31,44 --> 00:07:36,25
C effort coop he he was
fierce doctor he was

76
00:07:36,26 --> 00:07:41,87
a surgeon general United States yes.
And Dr Koop did everything and he.

77
00:07:44,21 --> 00:07:50,92
Saved her life gave her life for two years.
And then when she was getting close to

78
00:07:50,93 --> 00:07:57,92
two years he called us down. He
says and we went into his office.

79
00:07:59,16 --> 00:08:04,61
And he said you have an undertaker and I
said Yeah I said well your daughter Buras

80
00:08:05,73 --> 00:08:10,24
I'm going do everything I can to make sure
it's comparable as I can maybe you'll be

81
00:08:10,25 --> 00:08:15,70
able to take her. And this was in his
office I'm sitting on one side my wife.

82
00:08:17,79 --> 00:08:21,02
And I looked up and I saw picture of

83
00:08:21,03 --> 00:08:27,88
a boy in his office he said yeah
that's my son David he was killed

84
00:08:27,89 --> 00:08:28,03
in

85
00:08:28,04 --> 00:08:34,06
a mountain climbing accident. And me and my
wife were all excited about going up there

86
00:08:34,46 --> 00:08:40,07
and then I said you know why should we
go up there because David is already in

87
00:08:40,36 --> 00:08:47,35
heaven that's just the house that he lived
in the body hanging on the rope. So.

88
00:08:48,37 --> 00:08:48,87
I asked

89
00:08:48,88 --> 00:08:53,46
a most are you Catholic Dr Koop he said
no but if I didn't believe in the supreme

90
00:08:53,47 --> 00:08:55,91
being I would never lift the scaffold to

91
00:08:55,92 --> 00:09:01,67
a child. So in the
interim the phone rings.

92
00:09:03,72 --> 00:09:05,00
Things changed the room for

93
00:09:05,01 --> 00:09:11,97
a beer her platelet count went up everything.
He says well you're going to take her

94
00:09:11,98 --> 00:09:16,69
home he said just keep her comfortable as
you can in the interim it's important if

95
00:09:16,70 --> 00:09:23,23
you don't mind I know that one of the
the last surgeries that was done to

96
00:09:24,03 --> 00:09:29,75
make her comfortable was they removed her
urine ery bladder OK and that's when my

97
00:09:29,76 --> 00:09:32,34
mother said How is she to live without

98
00:09:32,35 --> 00:09:38,20
a bladder and that's when Dr Koop told her
she wasn't going to live and we we did

99
00:09:38,21 --> 00:09:43,00
our best to make her comfortable and then
he tried to explain the story that my

100
00:09:43,01 --> 00:09:45,31
father was recounting that he too lost

101
00:09:45,32 --> 00:09:51,05
a child and try to understand that you
know this is only a body and there is

102
00:09:51,06 --> 00:09:55,74
a place for them to go as saturable my
mother wasn't buying it because she said she

103
00:09:55,75 --> 00:10:02,24
was going to fight to do whatever she could
to keep that child alive and of course

104
00:10:02,25 --> 00:10:07,91
she had the best of medical attention
but she was also turning to God and she

105
00:10:07,92 --> 00:10:13,32
prayed my father took her always to St
John Newman who was bless it John you know

106
00:10:13,33 --> 00:10:17,75

taking her daughter home to just go back
to the Lord what happens Julia Well she

131
00:12:18,63 --> 00:12:23,31
was at home with Vera Marie and the baby
that had just been born Christina she was

132
00:12:23,32 --> 00:12:28,21
born at the end of August and this was
laid at the end of July and this was late

133
00:12:28,22 --> 00:12:33,58
August that my mom was praying and
actually speaking to God just as

134
00:12:33,59 --> 00:12:39,26
a mother would and asking questions like
How could you give me this beautiful baby

135
00:12:39,27 --> 00:12:43,72
and let me have her for so long and then
you want to take her away from me and look

136
00:12:43,73 --> 00:12:47,35
at all my beautiful children I love them
dearly I couldn't give any of them up it

137
00:12:47,36 --> 00:12:51,23
was just a mother's prayer and. All of

138
00:12:51,24 --> 00:12:55,30
a sudden she was caught aware
because she was surrounded by

139
00:12:55,31 --> 00:12:59,30
a beautiful fragrance and she knew there
was nothing in the house because Vera

140
00:12:59,31 --> 00:13:03,70
Marie being so sick we had nothing no flowers
no plants in the house and there was

141
00:13:03,71 --> 00:13:09,34
this most beautiful indescribable fragrance.
She just said it was close to flat

142
00:13:09,38 --> 00:13:14,66
fresh flowers and when
she was aware she heard

143
00:13:14,67 --> 00:13:20,74
a voice within her and it said Bring your
little girl to me here in Italy and do

144
00:13:20,75 --> 00:13:27,12
not do you lay she understood that it was
she made up her mind instantly that she

145
00:13:27,13 --> 00:13:30,80
was going to bring this little girl to
ponder in the year one thousand nine hundred

146
00:13:30,81 --> 00:13:36,48
sixty eight OK now you're home with your
wife one nine hundred sixty eight you got

147
00:13:36,75 --> 00:13:42,76
five six kids in that she says she wants
to go to bed early you have the money but

148
00:13:42,77 --> 00:13:47,27
I had the money thank God because I had the
business and she called me on the phone

149
00:13:48,10 --> 00:13:51,86
and I said dear for if you want to go
you're going to have to go you know you're

150
00:13:51,87 --> 00:13:56,62
going to have to either find somebody
because I can't just pack up and leave the

151
00:13:56,63 --> 00:14:02,67
business and. I'll get there
just like that. And so.

152
00:14:03,68 --> 00:14:10,13
At that time you had to get shots OK OK
passports passports you never traveled out

153
00:14:10,14 --> 00:14:14,98
of the country and there were no fax
machines and no one knew where Stand Your

00:14:48,42 --> 00:14:53,00
the baby with the baby that's the younger
one. They did she took my brother and

162
00:14:53,13 --> 00:14:58,93
Vera Marie the sick child and the newborn
because she was nursing mothers they

163
00:14:58,94 --> 00:15:00,33
don't leave their nursing children in

164
00:15:00,34 --> 00:15:03,61
a boat did she take an adult
escort to help her have

165
00:15:03,62 --> 00:15:07,94
a lady friend who went but my brother was
there to do the heavy lifting and so it

166
00:15:07,95 --> 00:15:12,97
was eleven and but husky and strong and
my dad kept the three of us at home and

167
00:15:12,98 --> 00:15:17,53
they had to go to court to swear custody
to each other so that each of them could

168
00:15:17,57 --> 00:15:22,86
maintain custody of the minor children
all of this in eight days pud repeal was

169
00:15:22,87 --> 00:15:27,25
truly on the job she gets to
Italy makes her way it was

170
00:15:27,26 --> 00:15:34,21
a long and arduous journey but she finally
finds said Giovanni. She does meet

171
00:15:35,21 --> 00:15:41,93
after his five o'clock mass and
when she finally met her words were

172
00:15:42,08 --> 00:15:47,85
that it was as if time stood still she
could hear nothing around her she had was

173
00:15:48,26 --> 00:15:54,89
totally unaware of her surroundings and
it was she. And these children her sick

174
00:15:54,90 --> 00:16:01,64
baby and she could only speak with her
heart being born in the United States my

175
00:16:01,65 --> 00:16:02,85
mother spoke English in

176
00:16:02,86 --> 00:16:09,09
a few I guess the Italian dialect the words
would tell you in dialect and she spoke

177
00:16:09,10 --> 00:16:16,06
with her heart and she said but. Big
black orbs pierced mine and she

178
00:16:16,07 --> 00:16:21,94
felt as though he understood everything
all of her needs and she said with her

179
00:16:21,95 --> 00:16:24,30
heart she said please God make

180
00:16:24,31 --> 00:16:31,18
a miracle so that all the people would be
leave and she said and then when she came

181
00:16:31,19 --> 00:16:36,31
to herself in this realisation she was
like I wanted to ask for the life of my

182
00:16:36,32 --> 00:16:40,33
child I wanted to ask but
instead she asked for

183
00:16:40,34 --> 00:16:46,75
a miracle that all the people would believe
pide repeal understood still gazing at

184
00:16:46,76 --> 00:16:52,13
her he blesses the children touched Vera
Marie on. In the head and then all further

185
00:16:52,97 --> 00:16:58,06
to my mother the back of his wounded hand
to kiss the wounded hand covered with

186
00:16:58,07 --> 00:17:03,59
this brown woolen glove and when she
leaned in to kiss pawed repeals hand once

187
00:17:03,60 --> 00:17:09,30
again she was surrounded by that fragrance
and she felt that beautiful sense of

188
00:17:09,31 --> 00:17:14,40
peace she just knew that everything was
going to be all right and when she got back

189
00:17:14,41 --> 00:17:19,20
to United States she took Vera Marie back
to the hospital with my father they went

190
00:17:19,21 --> 00:17:24,61
down they waited no results they sent them
home hold them down again because they

191
00:17:24,62 --> 00:17:28,22
didn't like the results they had gotten
the first time and it was then they

192
00:17:28,23 --> 00:17:34,04
revealed that the urinary bladder that
they had removed had begun to come back to

193
00:17:34,05 --> 00:17:40,05
grow back and as you mentioned about organs
that were taken they do not regenerate

194
00:17:40,83 --> 00:17:47,71
so my parents heard this news in
one moment and then the very next

195
00:17:47,75 --> 00:17:50,51
day my mother received
a telephone call from

196
00:17:50,99 --> 00:17:56,18
a family member or sister in law hero are
you watching television while the last

197
00:17:56,19 --> 00:17:59,72
thing my mom was doing was watching
television with six kids in the sick and the

198
00:17:59,73 --> 00:18:06,44
sick one but she said turn on the
news Pod repeal is dead. And that

199
00:18:06,48 --> 00:18:13,27
was her answer had she delayed had she
not gone immediately had my father told

200
00:18:13,28 --> 00:18:19,33
her No let's think about this she would
never have seen Padre Pio she would never

201
00:18:19,34 --> 00:18:24,04
of received that blessing she would never
have gotten the Graces she would have

202
00:18:24,05 --> 00:18:28,37
never been filled with that generosity
that wanted to share Piper repeal with the

203
00:18:28,38 --> 00:18:35,20
world and because she trusted in God's
providence the center was able to

204
00:18:35,21 --> 00:18:40,36
begin and so when we come back we're going
to hear more about the pádraig that

220

God has given to this century with all

221
00:20:09,52 --> 00:20:15,78
property How did you come about saying that
that this ground than bad toes going to

222
00:20:15,79 --> 00:20:21,58
be used for a story that we move
from the town up to Bartow area when

223
00:20:21,59 --> 00:20:26,29
a year after twenty years yesterday twenty
years because she exists lectured for

224
00:20:26,30 --> 00:20:28,78
twenty year right and it had it had

225
00:20:28,79 --> 00:20:35,72
a beautiful barn on it one of the most
beautiful barn shining Birch County. And she

226
00:20:36,54 --> 00:20:36,75
put

227
00:20:36,76 --> 00:20:43,60
a chapel in there and they grew and it
grew and it grew and it just there was no

228
00:20:43,65 --> 00:20:47,03
no more room for people they were outside
that microphone and out side and

229
00:20:47,04 --> 00:20:49,28
everything so then there was

230
00:20:49,30 --> 00:20:55,83
a man letter carrier right who had the
farm and he was getting ready to sell it.

231
00:20:57,40 --> 00:21:03,88
And he approached beer and he said I'm
going to give you first choice and she

232
00:21:03,89 --> 00:21:10,50
accepted it and that's how we got the lame.
We got the lingo from her former right

233
00:21:10,51 --> 00:21:14,97
around the corner from our regional
players we purchased the land in one nine

234
00:21:14,98 --> 00:21:20,36
hundred ninety four at the request actually
of the friars in Italy because they saw

235
00:21:20,37 --> 00:21:26,43
how the work had taken off in these years
under her lecturing extensively and

236
00:21:26,94 --> 00:21:33,72
also through the request of the United
States our bishop at the time Thomas Welsh

237
00:21:33,76 --> 00:21:35,07
had suggested we take

238
00:21:35,08 --> 00:21:40,89
a survey and when we did this survey
national survey it was overwhelming that the

239
00:21:40,90 --> 00:21:41,94
people wanted to see

240
00:21:41,95 --> 00:21:47,75
a monument something wonderful to in the
United States because the Americans had

241
00:21:47,76 --> 00:21:52,28
been so generous from the time they learned
about back in the one nine hundred

242
00:21:52,29 --> 00:21:53,09
forty S.

243
00:21:53,93 --> 00:21:58,22
Through the generosity of the American
people the greatest work of pride repeal

the hospital in San Giovanni where Tondo

245
00:22:03,61 --> 00:22:08,77

Paul the second who was

264
00:23:38,01 --> 00:23:43,75
a special friend to such pictures of your
mother with the pope on your father's.

301
00:26:48,78 --> 00:26:55,60

Center and it will be preyed upon preyed
upon Harry and the last minute as we wrap

307
00:27:18,11 --> 00:27:22,21
up today show any last minute thoughts
that you want to sail your wife your

308
00:27:22,22 --> 00:27:29,15
daughter the well Vera I never stood in
various way for anything she ever wanted

309
00:27:29,16 --> 00:27:33,90
to do. And when she wanted to travel in
the very beginning you know I stayed home

310
00:27:33,91 --> 00:27:38,58
with the children and made available
many many times of year wasn't home for

311
00:27:38,59 --> 00:27:45,23
Mother's Day or holidays because people
wanted her and she went and I permitted you

312
00:27:45,24 --> 00:27:50,25
know I mean I do you know because as an
Italian American growing up and also it's

313
00:27:50,26 --> 00:27:54,19
the women that have that kind of
flexibility you were a pioneer of

314
00:27:54,20 --> 00:27:59,99
a man very Calandra and and all this is
made possible because the husband used to

315
00:28:00,00 --> 00:28:00,23
have

316
00:28:00,24 --> 00:28:06,66
a big every thumb years back rows days
takes the big mantle of his wife go off on

317
00:28:06,67 --> 00:28:11,35
her own mission and as a daughter
Julia Well I could see that this is

318
00:28:11,39 --> 00:28:16,65
a labor of love and I can truly state that
there's no one with more generous hearts

319
00:28:16,66 --> 00:28:22,83
than my parents because they loved one
another so much that they gave each other so

320
00:28:22,84 --> 00:28:29,54
much to others and they gave each other
and to me I only hope to be able to

321
00:28:29,55 --> 00:28:34,14
emulate that not only in my own personal
life but to share that feeling with the

322
00:28:34,15 --> 00:28:39,91
people who come when you come to the center
you do become part of our family and

323
00:28:39,92 --> 00:28:46,73
the family grows that way and not only
we but our staff and our volunteers do

324
00:28:46,74 --> 00:28:52,69
their best to to encourage people to
visit and to become part of the family

325
00:28:53,20 --> 00:28:59,74
because lives are touched lives are
transformed and as pud repeal said

326
00:29:00,02 --> 00:29:06,79
you love me because I'd leave you
to Jesus through Mary Well that

327
00:29:06,80 --> 00:29:07,33

328
00:29:07,34 --> 00:29:13,29
